Voicebox Australia Demos Voice Artificial Intelligence Breakthrough

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Voicebox, an established leader and pioneer in the growing
conversational voice market, demonstrated ground-breaking advances made
by Voicebox Australia, its AI Center of Excellence partnership with
Macquarie University, at the Macquarie Park Innovation District
(MPID) Global Innovation Summit.

“We’re thrilled with the early progress made by the Voicebox–Macquarie
University partnership, under the capable leadership of Dr. Mark
Johnson”

Voicebox is the award-winning pioneer of Contextual Natural Language
Understanding and a pioneer of Voice Artificial Intelligence (VoiceAI).
Voicebox is taking voice interfaces to the next generation by employing
AI techniques in Semantic Language Understanding, data mining, Deep
Neural Networks and machine learning.

Voicebox Australia is a partnership with Macquarie University, one of
the few places in the world with research strengths across a broad range
of language sciences. The pioneering use of semantic parsing with deep
learning offsets the current approach’s need for ‘manual authoring’ of
grammars and greatly simplifies ‘translating’ apps across languages. It
also creates a truly conversational experience.

In what Voicebox calls Location Intelligence, people can ask questions
the way they actually think about location: “Find that Japanese
restaurant near the Chevron on Main St. and send the address to Mike;”
“Turn off all the lights except in my bedroom.”

This capability will greatly enhance the usability of voice interfaces
across all markets, particularly Automotive, Home, IoT and chatbots.
Also, solutions can be built more easily and quickly.

“We’re thrilled with the early progress made by the Voicebox–Macquarie
University partnership, under the capable leadership of Dr. Mark
Johnson,” said Dr. Phil Cohen, Voicebox’s Chief Scientist, Artificial
Intelligence. “We were proud to demonstrate this true innovation,
semantic parsing with deep learning.”
